Okay, I've been shopping around for skis for my 12 yo.
- she able to ski pretty much anything in the Eastern trail map on pretty much any conditions.
- she wants to try racing this year, but I manage to get her in a program which only has 15 days one day a week (expect for 4 races).
- she is small and light for her age.
Looking for a ski that can manage all of this... I know stuff about adult skis, but not much of skis at this age.
So the ideal ski would have to be good on hardpack and gates for kids. Kids in her program will do mostly GS, but a bit of slalom. She also need a skis that she can have fun in the bumps and glades at places like MRG.
I've had a few suggestions so far, but wondering if any here would have insights or suggestions.
The lenght of the ski I'm looking at is a 140.

I can't believe I missed it. Morgane is 60lbs and about 4'9". I was looking for a slalom and multi-event ski like the Dynastar Team Omeglass, however ended up buying a Salomon T3V which is a slalom. I'm a bit concern with the 140, but felt that the 125 that she had for 2 years was too small last season. We'll see.
